Need Treatment For Itchy Stiffed Neck With Nausea And Headache After Bitten By A Horsefly?
I believe I was bit on the neck by a horsefly, it itched quite badly, I applied essential oil lavender, clove, the itching stopped but woke up with my neck very stiff & some nausea & a headache. I am allergic to bee stings but this didn't feel like a sting & it sounded like a horsefly?
